A jackpot of high grade 1973-74 O-Pee-Chee cards is on the block here, with the delectable lowdown as follows. All but five cards are PSA-graded, with (93) 1st Series cards joined by (73) 2nd Series reps and four inserts. Indeed dominating are NM-MT examples (123), including 1-Delvecchio, 17-Dionne, 30-Orr, 50-Clarke, 72-Lafleur, 166-Schultz RC and 189-Horton. Two GEM MT 10 commons (219-McSheffrey, 234-Hudson), a dozen MINT 9s (four team cards) and ten at NM-MT+ 8.5 (66-Parent, 242-Shack) are superior, while just 14 are “only” NM 7 (132-Sittler, 202-Nystrom RC). Details of the inserts, the SGC-graded cards and 23 bonus ’77-78 glossy inserts, along with more images, are available on our website. What a stash!
MINT 9s are #s 8, 37, 40-Laperriere, 89, 126, 169 (ST), 174 and 206, along with team cards of the 92-Flames, 94-Sabres, 101-Islanders and 102-Rangers. Slabbed by SGC are 70-Perreault (NM/MT+ 8.5), 2-Meloche and 90-Tony Esposito (both NM/MT 8), 194-Rangers vs. Bruins (Jacques Plante cameo)(NM+ 7.5) and 3-Phil Roberto (fight card)(EX/NM 6), while the inserts in PSA holders are team logos of the Maple Leafs (NM 7) and Penguins (EX-MT 6) and rings of the same two teams, with the Pens (EX-MT 6) edging the Leafs (EX 5). …..As for the ’77-78 glossy inserts (not calculated in our “170” total in the title), the winning bidder will be pleased with nine OPCs (round corners) which merited GEM MT 10 status at PSA (Lafleur, Leach, Park, Sittler), with Cashman, Clarke, Dionne and Shutt at MINT 9. Half a dozen with square corners are 8-or-better, with Perreault GEM MT 10) and Dryden (MINT 9) headlining. Finally, four Topps (round corners) round out the collection, with Resch and Sittler slabbed MINT 9. Sensational high grade material awaits a new owner – kudos to the former!
